Direct-to-Paper Backgrounds & Glimmer Cardfront Sentiments by Joan Bardee
Hello crafters! I’m Joan Bardee and I hope you are ready for some fun! Today I’m sharing some easy and colorful cards using the unique Glimmer Cardfront Sentiments collection. Bottom line – this collection, which has 6 separate glimmer plates, each with a large sentiment in a fun font – packs a big punch. The collection also includes a stencil and die that creates a beautiful floral. I paired 3 of these sentiments with a background made with the “direct-to-paper” technique. In this technique, you hold the ink pad in your hand and apply it directly to the paper. I decided on somewhat abstract versions of circles, stripes, and plaid.…

Hexi-Gems Collection – Card Inspiration with Annie Williams
Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a couple of projects using the new Hexi-Gems Collection from Spellbinders.

Country Road Collection Introduction with Annie Williams
Hi there crafty friends, this is Annie Williams and I’m so excited to introduce my new collection with Spellbinders called Country Road. This collection is inspired by rural Pennsylvania, a place my family now calls home after many years of moving from city to city to pursue my education and career in science. When we traded busy city streets for rolling country roads, I was struck by the beautiful gardens and entryways my friends and neighbors spent countless hours building to create the warm and welcoming community around me.
